"Well now that I know you're a princess Twilight, can you please tell me everything you know about that night?" Phoenix asked.

"Y-yea." Twilight answered. "I'm sorry I hid it from you Phoenix..."

"It's OK, Twilight. Now did you notice if Princess Cadance had left the Castle that night?" Phoenix questioned.

"No, actually." Twilight said firmly. "She stayed quite close to Flash as far as I know."

"That's right, pal." Flash Sentry agreed walking up.

"Oh great..." Twilight mumbled.

"She never left my side!" Flash said. "Not once that whole night!"

"How about you?" Edgeworth asked. "Did you leave her that night?"

"Well yea. But that was after the body was discovered." Flash Sentry said.

"Hmmm, are you sure that was the only time you left?" Phoenix pressed.

"Yes, pal! A guard never leaves his post for any reason!" Flash remarked angerly.

("Ooo. Did a catch a hint of anger in that statement?") Phoenix thought.

"He's lying." Twilight said.

"Oh is he now?" Edgeworth asked.

"Twilight, how could you say that after he went outta his way to help us today?" Applejack said.

"Phoenix let me see the Magatama." Twilight said. "I have the evidence to present if he has a lock."

"Ummm, sure Twilight." Phoenix said handing Twilight the Magatama. "I really hope Maya can't tell that others have used this thing besides me..."

"Just as I thought." Twilight said smuggly. "Prepare to be unlocked!"

"Wow Twilight that's kinda obscene for you." Flash remarked with a grin.

"You know what? That's why I can't stand you! You're a perv and can't afford anything but instant noodles!" Twilight yelled.

"Wow you really know how to put a stallion in his place..." Flash said with this head down. ("I like that.")

Magamtama: -Twilight's Claim-

"You just lied to Mr. Wright." Twilight said. "You did leave Cadance one other time that night."

"Wait Wright, wouldn't it be bad for your case if he's lying?" Edgeworth asked.

"CRAP!" Phoenix yelled. "Too late now..."

"When was that?" Flash asked.

"You came over to hit on me." Twilight said shallowly.

"N-no I didn't!" Flash remarked. "How dare you say that!"

"Oh you didn't did you?" Twilight asked. "So that would mean you don't have a thing for me?"

"W-well I didn't say that..." Flash said. "H-hey!!!"

"So this wouldn't bother you?" Twilight said as she gave him a cute look. ("I cannot believe I am resorting to this!")

"I'm good." Flash replied.

"Oh you are?" Twilight said as she got closer to him. "Why don't you just tell Mr. Wright the truth, hm?"

"W-what i-is she doing?" Phoenix asked.

"She appears to be seducing him Wright..." Edgeworth answered.

"Twilight darling this is so out of character for you!" Rarity exclaimed.

"GET A ROOM!" Dash yelled.

"Is a princess supposed to do things like this?" Phoenix asked.

"In a Court of Law on less..." Edgeworth added.

Flash bit his lip.

"It's OK. Tell him. For meeeee." Twilight pressed.

Flash couldn't take the teasing anymore, so much so he couldn't focus on keeping his secret.

"OK! I left Cadance to talk with Twilight!" he exclaimed.

"Never. Doing that. Again." Twilight said. "I feel dirty just faking that."

"Somethin tells me you weren't fakin." Applejack said.

"S-shut up!" Twilight blushed.

"I left for at least 5 minutes during the break to talk with Twilight, pal! Not enough time for Cadance to kill Shining Armor in the Garden, clean up, come back in, then go back out to be caught at the scene!" Flash said.

"I guess he's right." Phoenix said.

"EHEM! I think Mr. Wrong is missing something!" Trixie said. "The two pieces of evidence we're looking for, maybe."

"Shit! The Crystal Heart and the hostage!" Phoenix exclaimed.

"Like I said, the hostage is the Judge's wife, or so I heard from that Changeling before I was smacked offside the head." Rainbow Dash said.

"Now where would we find those? Where would she have hidden them?" Phoenix thought.

"Think from a new perspective, Phoenix."

"Mia?!" Phoenix thought he heard his old boss and mentor call to him.

"Um, Phoenix?" Twilight asked.

"Oh, sorry Twilight. (A New perspective,eh?)." Phoenix replied. "Where is the Changeling Empire?"

"Umm, far from here." Twilight answered. "Plus I highly doubt that we'd be allowed in to investigate."

"I have something I'd like to check out actually." Edgeworth said.

"What would that be?" Phoenix asked.

"The Body." Edgeworth answered strongly.

"I-I'll see what I can arrange." Twilight said.

"Don't worry. He knows what he's doing." Phoenix said to put her at ease.

Canterlot Forensics Lab

June 12

9:20 a.m.

"Ah you must be Mr. Miles Edgeworth." a lab pony said. "Come right in."

"Thank You." Edgeworth replied.

"Well here is the body." the pony continued. "I don't know what you're looking for but I wish you luck for the Princess' sake."

Edgeworth examined the body all around, as a Prosecutor he was used to seeing dead bodies like this. The thing he paid the most attention to was the stab wound from the murder weapon.

"Do you still have the spear, and the armor he died in?" Edgeworth asked.

"Yes actually. Why?" the pony asked.

"All in due time. Could you please fetch them for me?" Edgeworth answered.

"Yes, sir." the lab pony replied.

("If I'm right then I may be able to at least buy sometime.") Edgeworth thought.
